How MMCMLIII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 2000 | MM |
| Hundreds | 900 | C (subtracted)M |
| Tens | 50 | L |
| Units | 3 | III |
| Total | 2953 | MMCMLIII |
MMCMLIII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MM (2000) + CM (900) + L (50) + III (3) = 2953.
CM is the only subtraction: the C before the M takes away 100, so CM = 900.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMDCCCCLIII
Why isn't 2953 written as MMDCCCCLIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 900 is CM (1000 − 100), not DCCCC, so 2953 is MMCMLIII.
